Major Equipment with Required Training

Here is a list of the major equipment, compiled from the individual zone wiki pages and arranged alphabetically, with zone, ownership, instructors and access.
The instructors listed are those that have volunteered to train others and have been approved to do so by the zone warden.
Access is either OPEN (you decide whether you can handle the machine, or need some training);i3 TRAINING REQ'D (you have to be trained by an approved i3 trainer or get Warden approval of prior experience with that type of equipment), or PRIVATE (you must contact owner for permission to use [rare]).

The Printrbot has been disassembled partially and does not function: (Taken home by Matt H for rehabilitation/destruction by fire)

Decorative Work

The Fab Lab currently has a sort of forest theme going on. It would be nice to continue the theme by painting the conduits and stanchions deep brown to simulate vines and trunks, put up more vinyl leaves, and paint the ceiling with either a sky pattern or a forest canopy pattern.

The air dryer was moved from its old location in the Metal Shop but the controller for it was not. It needs to be added so that the air lines to the HAAS will not freeze up from under-utilization if the machine has a lot of time between operations.

The TIG welder is wired in to the disconnect directly which makes it inconvenient to move around. Ideally, this will utilize a relay with auxiliary, allowing the TIG and chiller to operate from a single switch.

dust collector noise baffle

Mount Roxul batts inside diy enclosure, position atop dust collector

5

Building ground

Tie all the breaker panels to the building beams for ground. Make sure the bus-bar is as well.

4

Conduit Labeling

Designate all conduits with the circuits contained therein, and "downstream" (toward-end-device) "flow" arrows.

2

Kiln Power

The Kiln Zone has a bunch of new stuff, all running off of the plugs along the east wall. That should really get a breaker to itself.

2

Sewer lines

scope our lines, maybe snake them all the way to the street (rent one at pot lock)

2

shower to mop sink

convert our shower to a mop sink, it can still be used as a shower in emergencies but it has a strainer so you can dump mop buckets in to it and a hose to fill with.

2

Compressor Vent

Fix compressor vent line so it doesn't keep popping off.

2

Treehouse wiring

put lights on a motion sensor and maybe place a switch on the stairs so you don't need the breaker.

2

Bit torrent

It seems BTsync is not quite compatible with the current settings on our router (hint: dumping massive error logs are not a good standard operating procedure) check to see why that's happening and see if BTsync is even compatible with our network.

2

Roof vents

some don't one doesn't work, need fixing. At least one needs fumagating

Vent over computer zone needs wiring diagnosed,
Wood shop vent needs new belt and realignment? something.
Vent over CNC might need new breaker installed, breaker will not reset, doesn't appear to even try, doesn't supply power if held either, 220v pushmatic (maybe 20amp, probably could run much smaller).

2

Atomic clock

GPS, cesium beam, Rubidium, whatever we can get working. Also use it as a timing standard for the equipment.

2

Andrew M, Ben F

Intercom Permanence

Wherever the intercom equipment is gonna be, it shouldn't be running on an extension cord. Add outlets to the box in the mezzanine? Mount intercom (new intercom, from Bender) (and amp?) once work is done for classroom (to the wall?)

2

wood shop hose reel

replace with better one, should be nearby

2

Add light switches for SW panel

Get rid of the conduit run for breaker 9 (just the outlet by the brooms--plug the night light in to the outlet by the fan switch). Replace with larger conduit run to the opposite side of B. Nektar door, and add *proper* switches for West/Rear shop lights

2

Aaron

Front door replacement

There is budget for a replacement front door, it just needs to get found, bought, and installed.

1

power for injection molding chiller

replace fuses with 40A ones, the cable running it is awg 8

1

Fab Lab air drop

should get replaced with hard line down to the wall in the lab.

1

Power Runs take 2

We need more circuit breakers, exactly where is to be determined, but here's a preliminary list

120 near the front door for electric cars and power hungry tools to be used outside

Label dust-collector disconnect on north wall

Label all outlets with the panel and breaker that serves them

1

Floor pour in e-overflow

Self-leveling floor compound, or just real concrete, north of the treehouse stairs. Oh jeez.

1

Nate B

Projector permanence

budget for and hang a projector to point at our new projector screen.

1

Network Prettification

re-wire parts of the network so they follow the main trunk and use half-decent cable, Trace, test, and label all cat-5 drops and panels

1

Thermal Insulation

The space leaks lots of some energy in winter, let's find some major leaks and get some solutions in place. Luckily some of our members have FLIRs.

Champion

Laser Power

We need more circuit breakers, this time for the lasers

new 20A 120v coming from the N panel

something for the Laser Vent so we can stop with the extension cord already

4

Mike F

Craft Room Power

We need a 240 disconnect in the craft room

new 10A 240v 3 phase coming from the bussbar (check the sewing machine specs if this seems too much overkill)

reattach conduit to building and itself, wire is run

4

potlock

re-mount and power i3 sign

do the thing

3

potlock

Fix/replace hose reel by cart storage

the hose reel leaks a lot, take it apart and see about rebuilding it. It should just need some grease, o-rings, and snap rings.

2

potlock

Relabel compressor disconnect

fed from the busbar, the last box on the wall before it goes flexible, needs to indicate phases and amps

120v on the member storage for the lathe, 120v near sawstop for the small bandsaw (not needed anymore?).

4

Network reinforcement (literally)

The rack ears that currently hold the network are tenuously attached to the wall and have very haphazard holes drilled in them. The ears should be ramset into the wall (after the elimination of the wooden backboard that it's currently affixed to. We may also want new ears because as previously said they are very haphazardly drilled.

2

Patch wall hole by sandblaster

1

New air compressor replacement

We have member buy-in of up to ~$4500 at least, we want i3 to be willing to put forth money to bring it up to enough to buy a new 15hp screw compressor

Do something less-horrible with the abominable light fixture in the scary bathroom

2

Microwave Circuit

Get the microwave some dedicated power so it doesn't blow the breaker when the front-door outlet is being used heavily.

1

Network placement round two

Once we get the new server there will be no reason to continue using the existing server rack. The contents (the new server, and the UPS) will move underneath the fablab workbench. Power needs to be punched through the wall to give the network access to the battery backup, and possibly ventilation in the doors of the cabinet (but not vented to the shop).

3

VoIP PA system for the shop, and the office space

With a functional phone system it would be nice to have a system where the shop can be paged either from the outside or from an interior phone

Our network is currently an amalgamation of 802.3, 802.3af, and what is known as 'dumb' POE. The plan is to make all dumb POE devices 802.3af compliamt or replace them outright, this will simplify wiring and keep everything standard.

Add additional circuits to the Jewelry Zone so Foredom, Kiln, Lights and Mini Drill can be going at once). The kiln requires one entire circuit to itself. Everything else dims or stops working when the kiln is on.

6

Leora

Lighting

Very dark. Need one light above work area and one above cabinet. Add two bright high ceiling lights

The scrap material storage area under the desk is awful and ends up a pile of crap way too quickly. The zone items stored on the floor under the desk don't necessarily need to be stored in bins there, since the set of drawers by Wolverine is now pretty functional zone storage. The whole area under the desk could be rebuilt as better material storage for small-to-medium sized sheet goods.

6

Add proper limit switches to Bumblebee

Currently, the laser only knows it's position in software, based on initial homing. If this glitches for some reason, which it can be prone to do, the gantry will crash, which is Bad. The functionality for proper "STOP when you reach this point" limit switches exists on the laser controller so this could be done with 4 limit switches and some wiring--some of which will have to run through the flexible wire bundle that moves with the gantry.

EAP: add comment on authorized users table that ZCs should email wiki@ if they can't edit

Alternatively, make it unrestricted until someone goes dumb and tries to add themselves without actually getting authorized first

EAP: Figure out how to add second trainer to lasers

Tried to make the trainer field parallel to the owners field, but it isn't working. It could be because the trainers field is in a multiple-instance field. Also, when formatting for display, the owners field uses an arraymap, but since the trainers property is a subobject, everything is weird. I don't remember how to call an arraymap within a subobject declaration, or even if it can be done. Everything is confusing and future jamie should take pity on this jamie and not be mad at her :-(

Meeting minutes: Use template subclusion to auto-populate with old business, previous action items, current space projects, even zones and sigs maybe

Fixing broken things

The text-entry boxes are greyed-out for the authorised users, and white for the trainers

Looks like a permissions issue

Wiki accounts allowed to add users to these lists should have access to both in general

make SMW error icon mouse over-able like it's supposed to

Jamie has advice from the SMW mailing list somewhere in her inbox.

Maintenance

Go through In_the_Media for broken links, find content (on archive.org?), point to archive copy or pull a local copy (into a subpage?). Intern?

Prettifying

Glitter cursor

Custom theme??

Completed

Figure out why we get a 502 after images upload

Also get 502 when making regular edits

Maybe all these error messages are related?</s> 502 is fixed, and they're not related.

Figure out a better way to add blank meeting minutes

Major Equipment with Required Training should get auto generated

Equipment Form: the category:zone generation is not always consistent with the zone's named category, that needs to be looked at

Make equipment with EquipStatus::Departed be tagged with [:Category:Departed Equipment]]

Wiki backend: installed MobileFrontend and Mantle extensions for a more mobile-ey experience

EAP: document how to exclude a tool from EAP, or indicate no-auth-required status

I think there's already a "training required" field (if not make one). Make the entire equipment access query within an if statement on training required = yes

Make official-looking sign for front area with Board of Directors, Officers, and Zone Coordinators' names and pictures (Figure out exact design and placement-on corkboard where pictures are now? On whiteboard wall?)

first-aid kit: make list of to-buy items, pass to board.

Change hydraulic fluid in Genie

Make "how to phone" cheatsheets for phones

Abstract or more-planning-needed tasks

Make float switch for 12v sump pump, finish backup pump in north sump
